At the same time, there hasn't been a library of PDP-10 software that is well taken care of, and made easily available to the interested public. I would like to offer a solution. I have invested in a TOAD-1 machine running the PDP-10 architecture, and would like to make its capabilities available. The TOAD is manufactured by XKL Systems Corporation, and is a completely new hardware implementation of Digital's 36-bit PDP-10 architecture, not an emulator running on another platform. This machine I've purchased will be a repository for PDP10 public domain software, including the collection of the DEC-10 and DEC-20 DECUS tapes. By making access accounts available to an initial limited group, we hope to learn of any issue areas with our new program. Through an account you can set up with us, you can access this library, and run programs you may not have seen for years. You may also submit your own programs for storage, and for use by fellow advocates. These programs may be submitted via FTP, email or 9-track tapes. Once you have an account established you could access XKLeTen via telnet. Anyone may download the libraries of software through anonymous FTP from XKLeTen.paulallen.com. The machine, named XKLeTen, is configured as follows: TOAD-1, 36-bit computing system TOPS-20 system software 32 MW memory board 4 mm DDS tape drive 9 track tape drive 8 gigabyte disk I encourage any of you who are interested to contact us to set up an account. To be considered for an account, please submit the following information to XKLadmin@paulallen.com: Full name Email address Interest or purpose in this project (short summary) Desired account name If you have any questions about XKLeTen, or how to execute the anonymous FTP, please contact us via the same email address. Bill Gates and I used PDP10s to develop much of Microsoft's early software. I hope many of you take advantage of this new opportunity to keep alive some of your old memories. Paul G.

Paul Allen started his purchase process prior to the name change, so the older name appears in their files.

Alderson, III Manager, Customer Advocacy XKL LLC -- Rich Alderson You know the sort of thing that you can find in any dictionary of a strange language, and which so excites the amateur philo- logists, itching to derive one tongue from another that they know better: a word that is nearly the same in form and meaning as the corresponding word in English, or Latin, or Hebrew, or what not. --J.

XKLeTen has been back on the net for about a week, Xkleten.paulallen.com resolves to 216.220.195.4 for the time being. We are still working on a FTP problem that prevents PCs which use NAT from connecting. Until we have a solution - Telenet works and FTP works if you have non-NATed IP address. Accounts from the past have been preserved. For XKLeTen related questions or for accounts on the TOAD please use xkladmin@paulallen.com. Thank you for patience
